E-Guardian USB SCR Chipsets

E-Guardian is a family of patent pending ICs (OZ773) that provide PC users with the ability to transact secure e-commerce transactions on the Internet using their desktop computer keyboard and a financial smart card. E-Guardian ICs combine a standard USB HUB with Smart Card Reader (SCR) functionality, eliminating the need for an external smart card reader. They are fully compliant with the Microsoft (MSFT) PC/SC specification, USB Specification version 1.1, and are EMV Level 1 certified. EMV certification is a requirement for SCRs when used with the new financial smart cards issued by American Express, Visa, and Citibank (MasterCard).
